Detection of bioethanol yield and sugar–ethanol conversion rate in the transgenic lines and WT. a Bioethanol yields (% biomass) or b bioethanol yields (per plant) obtained from yeast fermentation using total hexose contents released from enzymatic hydrolysis after pretreatments. c Sugar–ethanol conversion rates under pretreatments. Data represent mean ± SD of three technical replicates Student’s t test was performed between the transgenic line and WT as **P < 0.01
